Beijing, Shanghai, Canton and other large Chinese cities.

Guiyang's origins lie in the dim and distant past. There is evidence that there was a town here at the time of the Han dynasty (206 BC to AD 220). It served as a military base in the Yuan era (1271-1368). Under the Mings (1368-1644) Xingui, as it was then called, enjoyed a considerable boom; the town walls which still stand date from that period. It has been called Guiyang since 1913. In recent years heavy industry has become established here, as well as chemicals, textiles and consumer-goods.
